Usually, watering once a week to ten days is sufficient. When watering, pour the water slowly along the edge of the pot to let it seep in gradually. Be sure to avoid waterlogging, otherwise, it may cause root rot.

**Light conditions**: Phalaenopsis Ferrara loves a bright environment without direct sunlight. For example, a place by the window with a thin gauze curtain drawn is its perfect habitat. In this way, it can enjoy sufficient light without being burned by strong light.

During the vigorous growth season, use a diluted special fertilizer for orchids and apply it 1 - 2 times a month to help it grow vigorously. Before flowering, add an appropriate amount of phosphorus - potassium fertilizers, and it will be able to sprout more flower spikes and bloom more gorgeous flowers.
